for outbound SIP calls and enable sipDiversionHeader
for authenticating the calling number when configuring BYO SIP trunk credentials. [According to the changelog](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2024/11/21).
2. New Transfer Plan Mode (January 5, 2025): VAPI added a new transfer plan mode (blind-transfer-add-summary-to-sip-header
) that allows call summaries to be included in the SIP header during blind transfers. [According to the changelog](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2025/1/5).
3. **Potential Service Disruption**: There have been some reports of issues with VAPI's SIP service recently, with one user reporting similar messages on calls. A VAPI representative indicated that the issue should be fixed, but another user mentioned facing the same issue for days.
### Common Causes for SIP Registration Timeout Errors
Your error message "Registration for 'XXXXX'@sip.vapi.ai' timed out, trying again.." could be caused by several factors:
1. **Network Connectivity Issues**: Problems with network connectivity can prevent successful registration.
2. **Firewall Configuration**: Ensure your firewall is properly configured to allow SIP traffic and that there are no blocks on the ports used by SIP (typically port 5060).
3. **Authentication Problems**: VAPI expects authentication credentials in the Authorization header. The username must be your SIP username, and the password can be anything except "test".Vapi Support Bot

as the FQDN and port 5060
for inbound calls.
5. **Review Logs**: Check logs from your SIP server for additional clues about why the connection is failing.
Is there any specific part of the troubleshooting process you'd like me to elaborate on?
